sentence capitalizer

[karen_CSE]

hi...uh...again,

I know I ask a lot of questions, but I'm really clueless. My HW says I have to write a function that accepts a pointer to a C-string as an argument
and capitalizes that first character of each sentence in the string.

I know the toupper function, but I have no idea how to implement it.

//Program #5 Sentence capitalizer

//write a function that accepts a pointer to a C-string as an argument
//and capitalizes that first character of each sentence in the string.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//function Prototype
void Capitalizer (char *);

int main ()
{
	char line[1001];

	cout << "This program will capitalize the first letter of each sentence.\n";

	cout << "Please enter a phrase of no more than 1000 characters, followed by a period.\n";
	cin.getline(line, 1001);

	cout << "This is how you should have done: \n";
	Capitalizer(line);
	cout << endl;
}

void Capitalizer (char *sentencePrt)
{
	char *s = sentencePtr;

//got stuck, don't know what else to do from here
}

can you guys give me a clue?

Just look at each character in the array in sequence. When you find sentence stopping punctuation, the first non-witespace character after it should be capitalized like so:

a[i] = toupper ( a[i] );

And don't forget to include

However, cases where it fails...

He said, "What is your name?"

Doesn't capitalize the 'w'

It is not so clever and finding case examples such as:-
Dr.
Mr.
e.g
I
I'm
I'll

And of course doesn't handle proper nouns, such as names. It could probably be changed to get it reasonably good. And you could build a crude library of proper nouns, though it would be impossible to handleevery case.
